DNA methylation marks associated with body composition in children from India and the Gambia - findings from the EMPHASIS study

2025-05-19

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Differences in body composition during childhood can influence long-term health, with notable links to cardiometabolic disorders in later life. While genetic associations with body composition traits are well-studied, less is known about the role of epigenetic mechanisms, particularly in low- and middle-income countries where the burden of cardiometabolic disease is high. We investigated links...
